Billy Crystal appears to be ready to save the 2012 Oscars following Eddie Murphy’s decision to step down as host after posting a comical tweet about the drama.

The star, who has hosted the Oscars eight times, emerged as the popular choice to replace Murphy hours after the Dreamgirls star announced his resignation on Wednesday following producer Brett Ratner’s departure.

And it seems Crystal’s ready to take charge of his first Academy Awards since 2003.

In a tweet on Thursday, Crystal joked, “Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions. Looking forward to the show.”

The Associated Press reports Officials of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences confirmed the announcement and said an official statement would come soon but had no further comment.

The funnyman was expected to be named the host of the 84th Oscars after making an appearance on the 2011 telecast to present a tribute to Bob Hope.

Earlier this year, Crystal told reporters he felt “itchy” after his Academy Awards cameo – and he would be prepared to consider a return to the Oscars stage as host.

He said, “It’s always fun. It’s really hard, but maybe one or two more times? I don’t know. They know where I am.”

Ratner and co-producer Don Mischer hired Murphy in September instead – but now Crystal’s wish may have just come true.

Actor Billy Crystal’s debut as a baseball professional ended in failure on Thursday — he was struck out without hitting the ball.

The actor and lifelong fan of the New York Yankees was signed up by the team to play in a pre-season exhibition match against the Pittsburgh Pirates — an event to also mark his 60th birthday on Friday.

Crystal trained with the team in Tampa, Florida, and turned out to hit wearing a shirt with the number 60 on the back.

But the “City Slickers” star was left swiping at thin air and struck out.

Crystal, who was cheered on in the stands by pal Robin Williams, said ahead of the game, “I’ve been waiting 50 years for this call. I’m overwhelmed by the generosity of the Yankees and commissioner Bud Selig. I know this’ll be tougher than the Broadway Softball League, but I’m looking forward to helping the younger players, which by the way is all of them.”
